New South Wales has blown out the first game of State of Origin with three quick tries.

After Tom Trbojevic opened the scoring, Brian To'o added two tries in five minutes - the second after a superb pass from Dragons forward Tariq Sims.

Nathan Cleary added the third conversion from the touchline, adding to his earlier penalty, to make the score 20-0.

Don't go celebrating yet though, Blues: they were 14-0 up at this stage last year too...and lost.
